There is no associated Amazon Chime usage charges applied during your free trial when attendees dial-in to your meeting using the supported numbers. Please note that attendees may be charged fees by their carrier.

Continued accessibility improvements

Amazon Chime Windows client

We improved the tab order on the main Amazon Chime window and the meeting join screen.

Tab and Shift+Tab commands can be used to navigate between fields.

Amazon Chime OSX client

You can now use ⌃⌘F (Ctrl+Cmd+F) to toggle full screen. Improved native full screen behavior and we now present a full width call control bar only when you mouse to the top edge of the screen vs a minimal version with any mouse movement at all.

Consolidating the controls on the meeting window

On the menus displayed when you are attending a meeting, we consolidated the Settings options into the
More menu ...
Change audio and
Change video controls are now under the More menu. The
Show my own video tile option has been moved under the
Change video sub menu. These changes were made to the Windows desktop client.

Microsoft Active Directory support for users with multiple email addresses

If you have multiple email addresses setup in your Microsoft Active Directory, you can now sign in and schedule meetings with any of your work email addresses. Other Amazon Chime users will also be able to use any of your work email addresses to add you as a contact or invite you to meetings.

Your primary email address will be the one displayed under your name in the main Amazon Chime window.

Please note that the email domains of all the work addresses must be associated with and claimed in a single Amazon Chime account.

Proxy Support

Amazon Chime now supports connections to our service via unauthenticated Squid proxies. The Amazon Chime client auto detects the proxy config from the user’s system settings. Please note that this support is for both Windows and OSX desktop clients and the Amazon Chime for Outlook Add-in.

Please work with your sales team to let us know if you have a proxy configuration that is not yet supported.

Resending Notifications

If a message or @mention is sent to your active desktop device and you don't read it within an allotted amount of time, Amazon Chime will send the message to your mobile device(s) a few minutes later.

Amazon Chime for Outlook Add-in

The Amazon Chime Outlook Add-in now provides a way to remove the meeting instructions after the meeting has been created. Users can return to a previously scheduled meeting and choose
Remove Amazon Chime Meeting and the add-in will remove meet@chime.aws and the optional pin+##########@chime.aws from the invite as well as instructions that were included.
